i do beleive so... while i am not the leader of this squad.. it does seem to me that we are one body short of a full crew. so i say go ahead and make a chararater for the Nal's (in my case joining the nals from a minor clan) and try to join.

We wait for the actual adventure to start. More instructions will surely follow.

As for the skills, I'm fairly certain it's completely irrelevant. When the pulldown menu is put into play, we'll have to select specializations and we'll see what we can choose from, then.

Meck will have his sword, but we only get to submit one action a turn and it's a group action, so individual abilities aren't focused on. So, if we have to get into a fight, we won't say "Meck uses hand-to-hand", we'll state the kind of tactics we use in terms of movement. As far as I know, Tir'ay is simply the TK flavor of unarmed combat, but every fighting culture ever has had an unarmed fighting style, so making special note of it I'm pretty sure isn't going to happen.

I could be wrong, of course, but this is probably the most reasonable expectation.
